Hubspot
The myCloudPBX HubSpot CRM Integration enhances customer relationship management by integrating your call activities directly with your existing HubSpot CRM.
It features call journaling (with optional automatic contact creation) and automated CRM Smart Open where the callers contact page is loaded on your computer.
The integration’s CRM Smart Open functionality opens the appropriate HubSpot page based on the caller’s information:
- Contact Page: Opens if the caller ID matches an existing contact.
- Search Page: Opens when the caller ID matches multiple contacts, or if the caller ID is private or unknown.
This integration streamlines workflows, ensuring all interactions are efficiently managed and recorded.
HubSpot Configuration
Before you can configure the HubSpot integration within myCloudPBX, you must first configure your HubSpot account.
Step 1
Sign in to your Hubspot account.
Step 2
Click on the cog icon to get to the settings menu.
Step 3
Select Integrations from the menu.
Step 4
Select Private Apps from the menu.
Step 5
Select Create a private app.
Step 6
Provide a Name and a Description.
Tip
This is used for your reference later so a description such as "Used for myCloudPBX CRM Integration" is helpful, however you can name this anything you want.
Step 7
Select Scopes from top menu.
Step 8
Select the following scopes:
- crm.lists.read
- crm.lists.write

Tip
Take note of this token as you will need it when configuring the myCloudPBX CRM Integration.
